In May 2018, the Palms Casino Resort completed a $620 million renovation which was heralded as the grandest in Las Vegas history. It included the creation of two new nightlife venues, both designed by Studio Munge and both featuring carpets by Creative Matters.

In spring 2018 we proudly installed 10 rugs in the public areas of the Toronto Marriott Markham. Creative Matters' Vice President and project lead Ana Cunningham said, "We knew this was going to be a completely new and more contemporary look for the Marriott brand. Together with an amazing art collection, we feel the rug designs make this hotel a visual treat."

Field Law is a Calgary firm that needed four large new rugs for elevator lobbies and a seating area for their head office downtown. Designer Asma Zalzala researched our collections online and then consulted with Calgary's House of Persian Rugs (HPR) to see the designs in person and to discuss customization.
